Citizens United To Protect The Maurice River - CU Saturday - Edelman Fossil Park and Museum Tour / 8-16-25
Join CU Maurice River for a fun-filled, family-friendly adventure at Rowan University’s Edelman Fossil Park & Museum in Mantua Township! This exciting outing includes both a tour of the museum and a hands-on fossil dig in the quarry—a unique opportunity to connect with ancient history in a truly interactive way.
Built around a former marl quarry rich with fossils from the Cretaceous-Paleocene extinction event, the park is one of the few places in the world where the public can dig for real fossils linked to the asteroid impact that ended the age of the dinosaurs. Discover marine creatures from 66 million years ago and learn about the site's significance, including the discovery of the first tyrannosaur and hadrosaur in North America. With its blend of science, history, and adventure, this is a day of discovery you won’t want to miss. Spots are limited—reserve yours today!
Be Prepared
Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes for the museum tour. Prepare to get dirty during the quarry dig; a change of clothes may be desired. Bringing water and snacks is recommended.
